The topic here is Advice for Exercise Trigger.
Well, just to add my 2 cents.... my advice is:
BECOME A COUCH POTATOE!!
Well, for those who don't have a sense of humor.... I think that this is one topic which is complicated for each of us have issues. Those patients who are not fully diagnosed or their doctors aren't up to speed or haven't adjusted their patient's meds to get back good control, exercise is a major problem. I'm one who can't. I don't know if it's that I'm just too sensitive or if my meds aren't right yet, but I can only handle a little bit. I can play with the kids of my school during recess, but even then, the 10 or 15 minutes we have of throwing the ball or running a bit is tricky. It's not always an issue of heat, but that of getting my blood stirred up instead. Even if I've had medication shortly before, I still must be very cautious and if I'm having a bad day, I can't even dare it!!
But, 6 months ago I couldn't even think of doing this, so perhaps it's just a matter of progress as to improvement with my meds. I don't know. But the only kind of "excercise" I can think of has to be something which won't make me breath heavily or break a sweat, even with the AC on. Even swimming could be complicated due to the breathing issues it causes.
So, I think that for some of us, it may never really be an option and it's just one more limitation that masto causes in our lives that we must learn to work with and even accept.
Again, I still say, Thank God it's masto and not something WORSE!! I can LIVE with being horribly allergic!!
